Swanning along

I had a tricky job deciding what to blip today - the early morning walk along the river provided so many photo opportunities - the sun breaking through, the weeping willow, the bouys' reflections, the fishing boat reflections, the ducklings all aswim behind mommy duck, the heron - actually he could clearly tell that I had too many choices already as he took flight as I approached (get him next time) the mommy swan and her oh so cute cygnets and then there was this proud and arrogant chap (the partner to mommy) who swam up to the bank when he spotted me and let me get too close for the focal length of my lens (have to go shopping) - he's probably still at the bank cruising up and down, posing.
